Revisiting the Washington Capitals Outdoor Game History

2. January 1st, 2015: Chicago Blackhawks: 2 vs. Washington Capitals: 3

The Washington Capitals welcomed the Chicago Blackhawks to Nationals Park in Washington, DC for their second Winter Classic and outdoor game in franchise history. Eric Fehr scored once again another outdoor game goal, while Alex Ovechkin picked up a goal and an assist for his first points outdoors. After taking a two goal lead in the first period, the Blackhawks came back to tie the game to set up an epic ending to the NHL’s 7th Winter Classic. After a questionable penalty called on Blackhawks Captain, Jonathan Toews late in the third period, the Capitals took advantage. With just 13 seconds left to play in regulation, Troy Brouwer scored the game-winning goal to put the Capitals on top of another NHL outdoor game.
